Updated to PS v24.7 and found that my Alien Skin Blow Up 3 (version 3.1.4.386) filter is no longer available. It gives the following error:

"could not complete the blow up command because a command was not available"

I tried reinstalling the filter without success.

Using Windows 10 Pro.

For me, it doesn't work in the regular Photoshop or the beta version.

Hi, it is possible that the third party company may not support beta apps and you would need to contact them to see if there is an issue they can offer advice to solve.

 

Does your software work in Ps release version?

I'm using the latest PS release version (24.7), not a beta version. The filter has worked perfectly for years until the last PS update. It's not a beta version of the app. This is a filter I use a lot.

If you use Lightroom, there is a work around, although I want my Blow up 3 to work again in Photoshop v24.7  In Lightroom, rightclick on the image > Edit in > Blow up 3 and with luck a window should open into the plug-in with your image loaded. Your message was from a couple weeks ago so I'm interested to know if you solved the Photoshop issue?


I rolled back to v24.6 and it works. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's fixed in the next update.

Currently having the same issue! Using Mac instead of Windows though, happened after my Photoshop updated.
